I got one for $1700 last month, and everyone asks where I got it once they see it. I think it’s great. it can easily handles a screen over 150”

I just installed this projector with a Valerion Ceiling mount today. I'm coming from Epson and Optomo projectors and have been in this game going on almost 20 years. The Valerion StreamMaster Plus 2 is EASILY the best projector I have ever purchased. The picture quality is fantastic, it is 4K, and supports Dolby Vision. I have a dedicated home theater so mounting was easy for me. I can't say enough good things about this just working, pretty much out of the box with my receiver and source content. The UI is also very good. I couldn't be happier. The mount is actually awesome too. 10/10 all around. $1500 is a steal for this projector.
Epson , Valerion interface felt to slow n support sucks
I bought the Streammaster Plus 2 months ago and love it but get it from Best Buy, I bought it from there for $999 USD!
Yeah, working perfectly almost 3 months later! No issues yet lol
I got the $999 Valerion Plus, and it has absolutely exceeded my expectations! Perfectly bright and looks fantastic to me!
None of the valerion do well with alr screen, so get the cheapest Valerion model. If you insist to use alr, best is to sample it first. The speckle, sparkle, hotspots can be an issue.
Ignore those deluded Valerion fans. Tbf if you only consume non subtitle dark content then maybe Valerion ebl will be the better choice for you. Assuming you're not sensitive to rbe, under $3k the best is dangbei s7 ultra max, then it's a tossed up between xgimi horizon 20 max and nebula x1. For ust, nexigo ap mk2 is better than valerion and has no rbe / speckle issue too.
Fyi there's a downside to low fan volume, the likes of Valerion get the low fan noise via limiting the fan (1600 rpm instead of 2500 rpm) and instead throttle the laser (can drop 30-40% kind). Some of their users are resorting to adding an extra fan / modding a replacement to reduce the throttling. So it depends which you prefer, as higher fan noise can be distracting too.
The color drift so it's not stable, affects the white balance and it may get dimmer.
Their retail price is definitely not value to performance. The likes of nebula x1 and dangbei s7 are all significantly cheaper.
Valerion. The DBL settings are amazing. The contrast will blow always the Epson
I am in the same boat as u are. After whole night researching and watching review videos, my original plan of getting Vellarion Streamer vision Plus 2 has cjanged and shifted towards Nexigo TriVision too. That Projector is lookijg great for the price.
I hooked up to projectors for about 2 years. Started off with basic 720p portables ones. Right. Now using Dangbei Atom a 1080p laser projector. I use mostly for Movies and Games. My Grey wall can have about 180" of projection size. Ive been dreaming to get a 4K projector for some time now. Right now i think i can squeeze 1500usd for that. If price isnt the factor for me. I would have gone for Velarion VisionMaster Pro 2 for 3000usd. But there is always something. So projectors are more personal choice than lets say TVs. Thr best projector for me might not be for you. I suggest you to find one for yourself. Projectorcentral is great website for detailed specs and comparison. And The Hook Up is great channel for yotube video reviews.
If optical isnt ur thing, then only other major differences between the 2 ( Pro and Plus) is the ANSI Lumens and Contrast. Pro2 has 3000 Lumens and Plus2 has 2000. But many users say its not worth spending 1000usd more. Most of the features are some for both.
